I've been to several multi-day OST events where the facilitation was
delegated. Peggy Holman's Journalism That Matters in Detroit had
different facilitators that opened the space each morning. The Florida
WOSonOS had different facilitators each morning as well. The 2014
Opening Space for Peace & High Performance had different facilitators,
and so did the one this year - including different people for the
evening news.
I, as facilitator for the opening and closing, had delegated the details
of how you post sessions to a colleague for my Montana OST in 2013. But
this year, Thomas "Tom" Brown, who opened the second day of the NYC
Opening Space at International House 2015, delegated the five principles
to the circle. I'd not seen that happen before, and it worked
brilliantly. Beautifully. Some walked a circle in the middle, like a
traditional OST facilitator. Some said something from their seats. Some
spoke just a few seconds, some took a minute or two. But it worked
really well. Kudos to Tom Brown.
Will folks share how we can do "one less thing", including the actual
facilitation, and how it has worked to let that go to other organizers
or to the actual circle itself?
Thanks!
Harold
